In New Jersey and Oregon, pumping your own gas is illegal. These states banned self-service out of fear that untrained consumers might light themselves on fire. The laws are surprisingly popular with citizens; any mention of their repeal has been met with fervent opposition.

Having lived in Oregon for 35 years, I believe the sentiment has shifted to wanting to preserve "starter jobs" and prevent automation from taking away jobs sorely needed by a certain segment of society. Fear of customers bursting into flames is something I never heard mentioned.
